Kitware and the VTK team are happy to announce that VTK 5.10 has
entered the release candidate stage!

You can find the source and binaries here:
http://www.vtk.org/VTK/resources/software.html#cand

Some of the notable changes in this release are:

* A new chemistry toolkit. As part of Google Summer of Code 2011,
David Lonie developed new
chemical structure visualization code, summarized here:
(http://www.kitware.com/source/home/post/44) . This adds accelerated
rendering of 3D chemical geometry using standard chemical
representations. Initial integration of OpenQube also allows some
interaction with quantum output files for electronic structure
visualization.

* A new set of image rendering classes. David Gobbi has contributed
these classes to VTK, for use in the next generation of VTK-based
image viewer applications.  The new vtkImageResliceMapper class
provides convenient methods for oblique image slicing, thick-slice
rendering, automatic level-of-detail switching, rendering of images
that are larger than available graphics memory, and support for custom
image interpolators including windowed sinc and b-spline. Like VTK's
volume rendering classes, the new image rendering classes consist of
separate actor, mapper, and property classes for maximum flexibility.

* Meshing improvements. An important new functionality in VTK is the
ability to perform arbitrary boolean operations on polygonal meshes.
This is described by the feature’s author’s in the VTK Journal article
at (http://hdl.handle.net/10380/3262). Also, a new quad rotational
extrusion filter has been added that generalizes beyond triangle
meshes. This is useful for visualizing the results of axis-symmetric
simulations.

* 2D chart and plot improvements. The charts benefited from work
performed by Tharindu De Silva as part of the Google Summer of Code in
2011, (http://www.kitware.com/source/home/post/44). Chart interaction
has been improved, adding support for keyboard modifiers to mouse and
key events. The legend can now be moved around in the chart, and
events are invoked when axis ranges change. New compound chart classes
were added, vtkChartMatrix and vtkScatterPlotMatrix, that allow for
charts to be laid out in a grid and for multidimensional data to be
visualized.

* A revamping and extension of VTK's statistics algorithms. These were
developed as part of DOE/ASCR and Sandia National Lab's efforts to
extend the state of the art in Mathematical Analysis of Petascale
Data.

* Updates to help visualize data consisting of higher order cells.
VTK's generic framework to handle arbitrary high order cells and
custom interpolation functions was updated in this release to
seamlessly work with the modern VTK pipeline paradigm and especially
within ParaView. More information on the origin of that framework can
be found here.
(http://vtk.org/VTK/img/AdaptorFramework.pdf)

* Updates to many of the VTK reader classes, including the SLAC,
Exodus, EnSight, Tecplot and LSDyna readers. One outstanding example
is that after the LSDyna reader was overhauled, read times for large
(100 gigabyte) parallel data sets dropped from multiple hours to
several minutes. There is also a new crop of NetCDF readers
(NetCDFCAMReader, PNetCDFPOPReader), and VTK finally has true support
for netcdf4 (hdf5 backed) readers.

* Support for new compilers such as Visual Studio 2011 and Clang, and
a multitude of code quality improvements. The code quality
improvements came from a persistent effort on the part of the
community to plug memory leaks and address compilation warnings that
the CDash regression test servers exposed. In a related development,
there is now an extension to VTK's leak detection that allows fine
grained profiling of the construction and destruction of VTK objects.
For more information, see (http://paraview.org/Wiki/DebugLeaksView)

* Material analysis. In the domain of material analysis, VTK has a new
Young's material interface reconstruction filter for the
post-processing of multi-material simulations.

* Advancements to the executive classes in support of LANL's
multiresolution streaming framework. Specifically VTK can now
prioritize based on meta information from many arrays and allows
filters to modify data while still preemptively prioritizing and
culling streamed pieces.

* Extension of VTK’s InfoVis capabilities. These include a new circle
packing layout strategy, numerous bug fixes and improvements to
wrapping of infovis classes, along with a new filter implementation of
the k-core algorithm for decompositions of large graphs.

* Volume Rendering enhancements. These include performance
improvements such as multithreading computation of the space leaping
data structure. Projected tetrahedra unstructured grid volume
rendering was also accelerated by making the algorithm use Frame
Buffer Objects when they are available. GPU accelerated volume
rendering of image data now supports ATI graphics cards on Windows
platforms. Also, Volume mappers now allow any of the data set’s data
arrays to be rendered and are no longer limited to only displaying the
currently active scalar field.

* Improvements to VTK's widgets. A hierarchy of versatile multi-state
button widgets have been added. Other additions include a cropping
plane widget that supports the 27 cliques needed for volume rendering,
a reslice cursor widget that supports thin/thick interactive image
reslicing directly from the image view, and improvements to the handle
framework with additional shapes and fixed size handles that maintain
a constant display size regardless of the zoom. A broken line widget
was added for use with selection.

* Improvements to VTK’s annotation frameworks. The version of FreeType
that VTK uses was updated to version 2.4.7.  In collaboration with D.
Aguilera and T. Carrard of CEA, D.A.M. Ile-de-France, France, the cube
axes and scalar bar actors gained new capabilities and a polar axes
actor was added. There were also enhancemenets to the visual quality
of VTK’s 3D plots. For more information on these enhancements please
refer to the Kitware Source article
(http://www.kitware.com/source/home/post/40 )

* Improvements to selection. These include the ability to subtract
selections, to select along broken line trajectories, and to do
surface selections on glyph3D mappers based on arbitrary
characteristics.

* Improvements for visualization within immersive environments. The
ability to perform “Off-Axis” rendering was added to VTK, and can be
used either with or without stereoscopic visualization. For more
information refer to the upcoming source article.

candidate since the last release. Please try this version of VTK and
